After beating Alien: Isolation, I'll give Death Stranding a try, now that it's available on Xbox. I hope it will be good :)

Let me know what you think of DS when you get around to it.  I played it for 5 hours straight yesterday.  Made it up to something like delivery #15, and am sick of the game. I probably won't go back to playing it again.

I cannot in good conscious recommend DS.  I consider it and Horizon Zero Dawn to be my biggest disappointments of this gen. I wish I hadn't bought them both on blind faith years ago.

Here's what I don't like about DS: too many cut scenes, especially at the start, and they all feel like their too long (nothing new for a HK game).

A main story that doesn't interest me.  Complicated controls, way too many options, clunky combat, and uninteresting enemies.

At the end of the day, it is what people have said: a walking simulator. It is nothing like the MGS games. No thanks.

Yeah, it had a certain charm to it with all the peaceful traversing and the music and the scenery. But the plot made no sense whatsoever and the world felt empty and lifeless. Which I guess was deliberate to an extent, but does it make for an enjoyable gaming experience? I think it can be better and I hope the second game is significantly improved.
